I am a writer, film programmer and senior managing editor at MUBI.

I write regularly on art and film for Sight & Sound, MUBI Notebook and Art Review, and am a member of the Critics’ Circle. I have a doctorate in Film Studies from King’s College London, with a particular research interest in the connection between light shows, intermediality, experimental film and psychedelic art, the subject of my upcoming monograph.

As a freelance film programmer, I have curated screenings for the British Film Institute, Open City Documentary Festival, Tyneside Cinema, Regent Street Cinema, the Horse Hospital, Eye Film Museum (Amsterdam), Joe’s Garage (Amsterdam), and Mint Collective (Marrakesh Biennale). I’ve participated in events, panels, and symposia at venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Close-Up Cinema, the Garden Cinema, Onoma (Fiskars, Finland), Muse Gallery, Rich Mix, the Slovenian Cinematheque (Ljubljana), Wolverhampton Art Gallery, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts.
